I remember watching this actually feeling kind of bad for UCLA. That was one of the best first halves of basketball I’ve ever watched. Even after all these years, I still cannot get over the Wisconsin loss. No way this team should have lost that game. We win that game 9 of out 10 times and we lost the one that mattered. Still bleed blue though. Being from KY, UK is our professional team since we don’t have one. BBN!
this is for sure the greatest team to not win it all and one of the best teams ever. blew out several top 15 teams and pretty much anyone they played. their bench had an NBA All Star too 🤦♂️
And all Cal needed to do was play Ulis and Booker in crunch time against Wisconsin instead of the Harrison scrubs. His arrogant faith in that dumb platoon system cost them.
The greatest team ever assembled...but Coach Cal didn't make adjustments during the F Four game. What would have been the greatest season ever was just another year - it was the ultimate "One That Got Away".
This team was so dominant and they blew it. But again for how bad they played vs Wisconsin they were still a blown call away from still winning that game
Kansas in 2011 begs to differ, at least if they actually made it that far. They could've made it to the final without having to play a team seeded higher then 8.
depends on what you mean by easiest....if the higher seeds in their region got upset, which caused them to play the lower seeded teams then thats not their fault
+Taylor..as a KU fan, 2011 still haunts me...all they had to too was beat VCU and Butler to make the NC game, then beat an average UCONN team ..Self should have 2 NC...they would have stomped all 3 of those teams had they played them in the regular season..but unfortunately, that isnt the way the NCAA tourney works
I mostly agree with you, except the part on UConn. They stomped Kentucky in Maui, went on a conference tournament run that may never be matched, had to go through Arizona and Kentucky again just to get to the final, so average doesn't really feel fair. Could Kansas have beaten UConn? Certainly. Would it have been easy? I don't think so, at least.
This was one of the saddest moments in the illustrious history of UCLA Basketball!..Yea, Im Captain Obvious.... Prop's to U of K cuz I appreciate DOMINANCE. But, I DO NOT think this team will rank among the All Time great squads in college history. They would not have beat in my opinion: The UNLV Rebels 90-91, Duke 91-92, or the Fab 5. I question if they would have even beat Anthony Davis's Kentucky squad! With that said I hope all these young pups stay healthy and get paid in the league next year.
This Kentucky team would've killed the 91-92 Duke team, probably would've been able to beat the Fab 5, and I personally think that if the 90-91 UNLV team played the 14-15 Kentucky team, that would be a game for the ages! As to whether or not this Kentucky squad would be able to beat the 2012 National Champions, I personally would love to see Willie Cauley-Stein face off against Anthony Davis, but I'm not quite sure who would win or by how much. Someone needs to schedule that showdown!
I can live with beating duke. But, The Fab 5? Hmmm... Length and athletism is the calling card of this Cat team. It would not have been an as much an issue vs. the 5 except maybe depth wise. Webber, and Howard about 6'10-6'11. Rose 6'8", King, and Jackson 6'5" and 6'6" as for my personal fav. The Rebels... Question is could those big UK bodies have held up vs. the sprinting gorilla warfare on the court that was UNLV. Matter-of-fact with that in mind I remove Duke and put Nolan Richards (Arkansas) 40 minutes of hell into the conversation. Think they took title in 93
the scarey part is that Coach CAL is eyeing THON MAKER (7'1" 205LBS C/O 2016) HE'S VISITED a few of Thon Maker's games (now currently in CAnada). Thon can play the 2,3,4 and the 5 (averaging 4 blks per game). He would be an excellent shoe-in for the loss of Cauley Stein (NBA bound for sure) cus Stein is a Junior or Senior correct?
Tbh I've never thought Cal was as great a "coach" as he is a recruiter and I feel the reason we didn't win this year was because down the stretch Wisconsin out coached us
@@captainmarvel9610 Best coach??? As long as Coack K and Roy Williams are coaching he'll never be better than them bro. Those players make him. He did nothing for John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, KAT ect...all of those players would've been top 5 picks at any blue blood school imo. Good coach yes and HOF worthy but best?!?!?! Shiiiiiiiiid
@@isaiahlyriq key word is overall. IMO overall includes coaching, recruiting, love/respect for fans players asst coaches. And much more. So yeah the 1s u mentioned and I think Izzo and many others maybe better xo coaches. But overall I disagree coach Cal is #1. But everyone has their opinions and I respect yours or anyones else
John Wooden is rolling over in his grave after seeing this. Honestly I think if he had been coaching his team this game would not have turned out the way it had. I still think Kentucky would've won though, you gotta remember that the last time Wooden coached in NCAA there was no shot clock or 3 point line, plus back then no team had more than one 7 footer.
Kentucky may beat this Ucla team with Wooden at the helm but if you match this ketucky team vs John Woodens real teams with Bill Walton, Kareem, lucious and crew they would get curb stomped, smashed, broken down, and annihilated. Kareem and Bill would smack every ball that came their way and with pure aggression.
I have to say you SEC fans are hardcore, and class acts generally. Because y'all had every right to rub it in... Been having things your way for over a decade in hoops, and on the gridiron. But the abuse those Cats unleashed on my beloved basketball Bruins damn near had me in therapy. The parks of Cali were empty, no hoopin cuz our faces were buried under a blanket for 24 hrs. In shame and disgrace... Someday the score must be settled, someday we have to come to your place and reclaim our honor.. We we're bitch slapped, raped, and robbed. Oh no, I'm getting depressed again...
I grew up in San Diego. Yes, I'm a SC Football man since 1988 & will be 4 Life. But, I'm a Bruin Hoop fan. I just got to much Cali in me i guess. What can I say? My life is complicated! 😀
No No No. instead of wanting to beat UCLA by 40 points CAL should have put the whole bench in there and win by 20 or something. by taking the starters out with 10 mins left in the 2nd half.
+Eth D I wouldn't say we sucked. young team, rough season. Not making excuses but our bracket seeding is mainly the reason we were an early out. Indiana should have not had to play us the second game, nor should we have had to play them the second game.
questionable calls in that final four game definitely played a huge part. i remember specifically the refs counted a basket for wisconsin that was clearly made after the shot clock expired, shifting the momentum.
Or maybe you could post the crybabies reaction when they got beat by Wisconsin. Not shaking hands and calling them racial slurs. And getting a free pass on it. Wisconsin was outcoached by far in that game. Both teams true character showed. By the way. Wisconsin did not have any McDonald All Americans, and their team was for the most part from WI or neighboring states. All of KY's team was full of player from all over the US.
The last time a UCLA team had 7 points at halftime, it was at the Rose Bowl.
I remember this game. Score was 24-0. I have never seen a game so lopsided between two huge schools.
The half time score was 41-7
Xavier DuBose it was easy Kentucky

You need to post this years game. Particularly the dunk over Poythress.
